AI Automation Readiness Checklist

A compact checklist to decide whether a workflow is ready for automation now or still needs cleanup.

Owners often know a workflow is painful but do not know whether it is ready for AI yet.

  • The workflow is repetitive.
  • The source material exists.
  • Exceptions can be defined.
  • Someone owns review.
  • Helping you judge readiness before you buy or build.
  • Humans still decide whether the workflow is strategically worth the effort.
  • Score the workflow on repetition, source quality, exception rate, and business value.
  • You can say yes, not yet, or no with a reason.
  • Calling something ready because the pain is high even when the process is still vague.

Use this checklist before the action plan turns into implementation.
